1/48 Trumpeter Chinese Z-10 Attack Helicopter – 05820

The Z-10 attack helicopter’s development began in the mid-1990s. The prototype of the Z-10 made its maiden flight in 2003. The primary mission of the Z-10 is anti-armor and battlefield interdiction. It also has some limited air-to-air combat capabilities.

The Z-10 helicopter has a standard gunship configuration with a narrow fuselage and stepped tandem cockpits. Gunner is seated at the front and the pilot is at the rear. The fuselage has sloped sides to reduce radar cross-section. All vital areas are believed to be protected by armor plates.

The prototype of the Z-10 is powered by two Canadian Pratt & Whitney PT6C-67C turboshaft engines, delivering 1,531 hp each. This helicopter may be fitted with a fly-by-wire control, a helmet-mounted sight for the head-up display, a television and forward-looking infrared sensors, radar and laser warning receivers, an infrared jammer and decoy dispensers.
